Trading activity slowed to a crawl on Wednesday as Jews around the world observed the Yom Kippur holiday. With stocks in a holding pattern, a bearish technical picture remained unchanged. We’ve been using the 2090.25 downside target of  pattern larger than the one shown, but for trading purposes it will probably be more useful to focus on the little stuff, since the lesser intraday charts provide the best tool we have for fashioning entry points with risk under tight control. That implies p=2124.75 should be used as a minimum downside objective for now. If it’s smashed, however, D=2108.75 would be in play, and thence 2090.25. Alternatively, the very short-term picture would turn bullish if DaBoyz can generate enough short-covering to take out the 2140.75 point ‘C’. ________ UPDATE (Oct 13, 1:51 p.m. ET): Bears continue to be their own worst enemy, as well as the only source of buying power strong to heft this brick past resistance. This morning’s bullish, trampoline reversal came from 1.00 point below the 2108.75 Hidden Pivot support noted above. The more important downside target at 2090.25 is still valid in theory and will remain so unless this short squeeze hits 2141.00. However, we shouldn’t discount bears’ well-proven ability not merely to shoot themselves in the foot, but to do so repeatedly with a semiautomatic weapon.
